Oropa reports high grade mineralization at Sambung gold prospect

Australian mining firm Oropa Limited reported Tuesday widespread high grade gold mineralization encountered in trenching at the Sambung prospect located in the northern block of its Pungkut gold project in North Sumatra.

According to company?s statement, trenching over the prospect returned results as follows:
? 6 metres at 2.53 g/t Au and 9 metres at 1.80 g/t Au in Trench 2
? 48 metres at 7.34 g/t Au and 3 metres at 55.5 g/t Au in Trench 3
? 9 metres at 26.7 g/t Au in Trench 6
? 24 metres at 4.77 g/t Au and 8 metres at 2.54 g/t Au in Trench 9

Oropa has conducted a trenching and sampling program over a portion of the Sambung prospect, located approximately 3 kms south of the gold resource at Sihayo 1 North.

Oropa said assay results for trenches had confirmed the existence of widespread high grade gold in regolith. ?This trenching is a precursor to drilling which will be designed to test in-situ primary epithermal gold mineralization,? Oropa added. (robert)
